SEAD provides you quick and easy options for sharing data without publishing. You can choose to keep your Project Space private or make it public. You can also control access to individual datasets in your space.

Publish your data whenever you are ready! With just the push of a button directly from your SEAD Project Space, you can set your data on the path to publication. SEAD’s streamlined publication process leverages the annotation and dataset organization you created in your Project Space and saves you the work of describing and organizing your data twice: once for you and your team; and then again when you publish the data!
